How Do I Run This Applet?
This activity allows the user to simulate drawing red and green balls out
of boxes. To run in single trial mode, click on one of the boxes two times
to reveal the color of the two balls it contains. A count will be kept
of the results. To run in multiple trial mode, enter the number of trials
desired in the box and click on the run multiple trials button.
This Java applet requires a Java-capable browser. If you don't see the
applet, Java may not be functional in your browser or on your machine.

a red and a green ball (in no particular order).

Choose the box that you wish to discover the contents of and click on that
box twice. When the first box you choose has been clicked on two
